After months of spiritual darkness and personal challenge, I've emerged into a place of profound peace unlike anything I've experienced before. This journey began with painful lessons as I was forced to cancel retreats I'd planned across the country, realizing they came from a place of fear rather than alignment. The universe was demanding I release my grip on control.
February marked my darkest hour. My business revenue had plummeted to the point where I couldn't cover basic expenses. Having just moved into a beautiful historic office space weeks earlier, I faced walking away from everything. After a decade of self-employment, I contemplated returning to work for someone else—a prospect that terrified me. This was my moment of complete surrender.
What happened next transformed me. When I finally released my attachment to outcomes and simply accepted whatever would come, the universe responded with abundance. March arrived like a faucet turning on—new clients, opportunities, and income flowing at quadruple my February earnings. This wasn't coincidence but divine confirmation that our greatest expansion often follows our most significant contractions.
Now I'm preparing for exciting adventures—leading retreats in Mexico and Mount Shasta, returning to my birthplace of New Orleans after eight years away. These opportunities didn't come from desperate striving but from alignment after surrendering what wasn't meant for me.
The peace I've found isn't the absence of challenges but the presence of trust within them. In a world filled with chaos, this inner peace becomes a form of spiritual activism. By standing in our light and operating from love rather than fear, we contribute to the collective evolution happening around us. Whatever you're going through, remember you're not alone—and perhaps what you need to let go of is exactly what's blocking your path forward.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Joyful Shaman Podcast.
I am Naomi, your host with themost, and I am glad to be back
recording another episode foryou all.
How are you friends?
How has 2025 been for you?
I know I've taken a little bitof a hiatus and I'll give you an
update as to where I'm at, butI'm glad to be back, making it
(00:26):
through winter, really embracingthe season of spring and what
is coming for all of us.
So I last left everybody withthe holiday season really trying
to integrate from my retreat inNew Mexico, getting ready to
move my physical business withmy business partner, cassie, and
(00:49):
just personal things at homewith family.
And I've got to say that winterwas an extremely hard time for
me mentally and emotionally as Iwas really dying to a lot of
old identities and still tryingto control and working from a
place of ego in the areas of myretreats.
(01:10):
I will say that spirit reallyhad to move in me and through me
and a lot of things haveshifted and changed, all for the
greatest and highest good andI'm grateful for it all.
So, holiday season, cassie andI moved into our beautiful
historic home office that weshare with Dr Angela Boatwright,
(01:32):
who is an amazing acupuncturephysician here in our Lakeland
community and the otherattorneys that have private
offices upstairs.
We love the house.
It is absolutely magical.
I have never worked in a placewhere I have felt so much energy
, protection, um, and spiritualconnection.
Truly, a lot of people ask meoh man, that house is 125 years
(01:56):
old, it must be haunted.
Honey, if I'm gonna walk inthere, ain't shit gonna be
haunted, okay, because I clearthat motherfucker every single
goddamn day.
But, that being said, we areextremely grateful.
I know that I was panickingfrom a financial standpoint and
really it was a deeper woundingthat I'm still working with.
(02:17):
When it comes to scarcity andtrust, my root chakra is pretty
damaged, I would say, sincechildhood and every day.
It's a conscious choice toreally work and have trust and
faith that all of my physicalneeds will be met, especially
for my business.
So Cassie and I moved into thatspace and we really made it our
(02:40):
own and it has been wonderful.
Now, january is typically aslower month for most small
businesses.
I can only attest to ourcommunity because it's
post-holiday, you know.
People are getting ready to dotaxes, the holiday bills come
through, kids are going back, alot of people get sick, a lot of
(03:01):
sickness.
I call it January ickies,because everybody and their mama
got something going on.
So it was a slower time and Iwas grateful for it because I
needed a lot of physical rest.
I also needed a lot ofemotional rest, as my mind was
just still going around amillion miles an hour.
You know I had some clients andyou know I did what I needed to
(03:24):
do to take care of my personalexpenses and stuff.
But it was a time of alsolaunching my retreat.
As I was launching the originalretreats to New Mexico, to
Olympia, washington and toSedona, arizona I started to
come to realizations that thesewere not in alignment with me,
(03:48):
whether it was the retreat, host, the location, the timing, the
offering.
I was really focusing onfinancial return because I
really wanted to use the moneyto buy a car and to move and to
do things like that for thisyear and obviously that was not
what spirit had in mind and itwas really not in alignment with
(04:10):
my soul.
So I had to learn some really,really hard lessons and I
canceled my Santa Fe, new Mexicoretreat.
I canceled Sedona.
We originally actuallypostponed it to September, but
we actually canceled it,postponed it to September but we
actually canceled it.
And we canceled OlympiaWashington because we did not
have aligned people and at thetime I was upset over the course
(04:34):
of January and February inregards to this, but I really
wasn't, because I knew that itwasn't right and that was a hard
lesson I had to learn in winter.
It was a big fat ego death thatI had to do because I want to
help people, but I also strugglewith, I guess, still putting
out my worth and my value andthen realizing that I need to
(04:56):
focus on my local community andto have trust and faith that the
people that I am meant to leadin these special retreat
containers will mainly come frommy local community or from
other people that I connect withonline, that I don't have to
make extreme efforts, as I wasmaking, to really put myself out
there, because it wasattracting an energy of
(05:19):
desperation, of fear, of notstanding in my power.
And that was a hard lesson overthe winter, february because of
my fears and just me panickinginternally about control.
And you know, am I going to beable to afford the rent in the
house?
Is my business still going tokeep going?
What about my retreats.
(05:39):
All of that was at theforefront of my mind.
February the energy was rough.
I know everybody struggledthrough the month of March and
maybe coming out of thatretrograde eclipse portal right
now at this time.
But February was that time forme.
I was closing out my SaturnSquare to Sun Transit that had
(06:01):
started in May of 2024.
And February was the pinnaclemoment.
My business has been steadilydeclining revenue, wise, I want
to say, since the beginning of2024, and February was rock
bottom.
I was making far less than whatI was able to pay my bills.
(06:23):
And I reached the point inFebruary where I was like, okay,
spirit, if this is it, if Ihang it up, if I have to walk
away from this house we justmoved into four weeks ago, if I
have to go get a part-time jobworking in the world and I
haven't worked for anybody in 10years then I will do so.
I will walk away from this.
And I was scared, I was tryingto trust, but I finally finally
(06:49):
hit that place of just absolutesurrender.
Not that I was giving up,because I did, I really wanted
to give up.
I was like I don't know ifsurrender is giving up at this
point or just knowing when it'stime to walk away.
But I just kept praying everyday of like I'm just going to
surrender, I'm going to behumble, I am going to understand
that there are different waysof being able to help people and
(07:12):
to heal people.
And if it's not owning my ownbusiness, you know, doing the
services that I do in my localcommunity, if I have to get a
full-time job and just do thispart-time, then I'm willing to
do it Like I was ready to takethat step.
Um, come March and I'm glad thatI still have that mentality
(07:33):
because it's very real, it'sstill very real and, um, I will
say that March, since March 1st,the feels like a faucet just
opened up and the water startedpouring in.
I was able to recuperate three,almost four times what I made
in February.
And if that is not a testamentto divine intervention again,
(07:57):
the many examples in my life ofnothing short of a miracle, at
least personally for me, I don'tknow what it is.
So it's just a confirmationthat the Spirit and God is so
real.
The positive that has come fromall of this experience is that
I am in this incredible place ofjust deep, deep peace.
(08:18):
I don't think I've ever feltthis peaceful in my life.
I was on the edge of the abyss,of the darkness I really was
and peering down in thatdarkness in February had me in a
variety of different feelingsand emotions and I just looked
up.
I just kept looking up andreaching towards the light and
(08:40):
just being like help me, help mefind peace and surrender and
just ultimate trust and Ifinally I jumped off the cliff,
so to speak.
I jumped off the cliff and wascaught and elevated up and I
realized I had to do the jumpbecause it was a powerful
initiation and I don't want tosay the word test, but it was a
(09:02):
powerful moment in my life whereI needed to have that deeper
evolution for myself.
I do have two wonderfulopportunities that have come up
for me during this time.
I'm actually getting ready toleave on April 25th to lead a
beautiful retreat in Yelapa,mexico, which is right outside
(09:24):
of Puerto Vallarta, for myfriend, jenny Carmel, who is
based out of California, who'sbeen leading retreats for 30
years.
She is an amazing travelretreat chef and caterer and
devout spiritual seeker andasked me to go and lead her
week-long retreat in Mexico andI am fucking excited and I am
(09:51):
fucking excited.
This is my first opportunity ofsomething of this magnitude to
do and I get to work with otherhealers.
So this isn't my retreat.
I was just asked to go and dothis and 100% fucking signed up
and I was like, yep, do I needto be at the airport and I'm
going to order 10,000 moomoosbecause it's hot as hell on the
beach, but it's going to begreat.
And then I am leading my veryown retreat at the end of July
(10:18):
in Mount Shasta, california,which came to me in a dream 10
months ago and it wasn'tsomething that I podcasted about
because it was a dream and Ijust kind of kept it on the back
burner, but around the holidayseason it just really kept
popping up.
So Mount Shasta, california isfully activated and we are
filling that retreat.
(10:38):
I thank God every single daythat that retreat is 100%
channeled.
It's from the heart.
The information is on mywebsite, joyfulshamancom.
From the heart.
The information is on mywebsite joyfulshamancom.
If you listen to this and areinterested.
Some spots are still availableas this podcast is being
recorded and I am just grateful.
(10:59):
March for my business exploded.
My clients came in, new peoplecame in.
So much more energy healingwork, so many more opportunities
for sound bath, meditation andfor other services for the
community.
Like I am so grateful I'mactually going to be traveling
quite a bit.
Cassie hopefully won't hearthis podcast, but I'm going to
(11:21):
surprise her when I come backfrom Mexico and take her to
Seattle celebrate her 45thbirthday at the end of May, and
then I'm going home for thefirst time in almost eight years
, to New Orleans for my birthdayin June to see my beautiful
friends, the friends that I metin Tulum, mexico.
They're going to join me therein New Orleans because why not,
baby, it's New Orleans and thenJuly going to California, and
(11:46):
I'm actually in the process ofpossibly planning another
retreat for the fall.
Either it's going to be inAustin, texas, or it's going to
California, and I'm actually inthe process of possibly planning
another retreat for the fall.
Either it's going to be inAustin, texas, or it's going to
be in Western North Carolinaabout Lake Lear, where they
filmed Dirty Dancing, one of myfavorite movies, which is about
an hour away from Asheville.
So I'm in a great state ofblessings, but I will say winter
(12:08):
was hard.
I had to die like literallyover and over and over and I
think I'm in a great state ofblessings.
But I will say winter was hard.
I had to die like literallyover and over and over, and I
think I'm still going to be inthat dying process.
We all will be.
I know that March has been hard,with the Mercury and Venus
retrogrades, neptune and Pisces,the eclipses, and so I was
ready and I feel, because I'vebeen doing the work internally
(12:31):
and I've been just going throughextreme challenges and just
finally jumping off that edgeand whatever was going to come I
was going to accept.
I feel like I've made itthrough the next cycle and right
now I'm just in a state ofgrace, I'm in a state of
blessing, I'm in a state ofpeace and I feel like I'm in a
great state of flow and I'venever felt like this in my
(12:53):
entire life and I'm justgrateful.
I know that more challenges andmore cycles will come.
I feel like there's still somelittle woundings and things like
that that get triggered, but Ihave greater awareness and
greater patience about it as faras with my family and greater
patience about it as far as withmy family.
(13:13):
Unfortunately, the dog situationthat I had talked about in the
last episode did not work outwith my family.
That was pretty traumatizingand I felt bad for my mother and
my sister.
They really, really wanted adog and I just knew intuitively
this was not going to work outand I just had to be there and
watch it all happen and just bethere as a support system for my
sister.
Um, but I will say that, um,the dog situation didn't work
(13:37):
out.
They brought the dog home and Iwill say, um, that the
organization that they adoptedthe dog from did not do its due
diligence as well.
I will say that when they wentto just initially go and visit
the dog on December 21st, theywere not intending to bring this
(13:57):
dog home.
They were ready, but that wasnot their intention and when
they got there, they had learnedthat this dog had not already
been spayed.
She was just literally spayedtwo days prior.
So she was in a cone withstitches and we were like oh wow
.
And they went and put her on theground and they said that she
had been exposed to Parvo.
(14:17):
She was 11 months old, so notlike a puppy, puppy, but still
not quite a year old and thatyou know there's supposed to be
a 10-day quarantine for dogsthat are exposed to Parvo why?
Because it's a parasite that ifit gets in and the dog gets
activated from it, you have 48hours to receive for the dog, to
receive a life-saving shot orelse the dog will die.
(14:39):
And that's something we'venever experienced with our other
dogs that we've had growing up,you know, and they didn't quite
inform us of all of that andthe severity of it.
You know, it's right beforeChristmas and the woman that had
the dog that brought her was afoster and she only had the dog
overnight and she said well, youknow, I've had this dog, you
know, essentially for two daysand they haven't really shown
(15:02):
any signs of having active parvo.
So I think they should be fine.
But just, you know, don't lether pee and poop outside and
just keep like a kiddie pool inthe house.
And, um, you know, if she getsparvo, that's fine, just call,
call the organization, call therescue, and uh, we'll, we'll
treat her.
You know, christmas rolls around, um, and she started getting
(15:24):
sick.
She started getting sick to herstomach, she started having
these allergies.
We thought she was having pusfrom her incision, from the spay
surgery, and so we ended upbringing her to the vet like two
times in like 24 hours.
And then this dog got violentlysick Christmas night into the
(15:44):
day after Christmas and the dogit was like almost the 10th day
of you know the technicalquarantine and yeah, she was
active for Parvo and she startedvomiting and defecating in the
house and just chunks of stomachlining and blood everywhere and
(16:06):
I'm sorry to be so graphicabout it but it was horrifying
because I've never witnessed ananimal do that in real life in
my face.
And parvo, what it is, it's aparasite that essentially it's
almost like an acid, so to speakthe easiest way to explain it.
It eats away the lining of yourstomach and your intestines and
(16:26):
that's horrifying and that'swhat kills the animal and
puppies, like really young babypuppies if they get it it's very
hard for them to survive.
But because this dog wasalready pre-owned in 11 months,
she was a trooper and my mom andmy sister had to bring the dog
to the emergency vet hospital.
They had to wait in the carbecause they can't expose other
(16:48):
animals and the bacteria in theoffice.
I didn't know that once it'sout of their body through
vomiting or through poop, thatbacteria stays active for a year
, no matter how many freakingtimes you mop it when they go
poop outside, no wonder theydidn't want the dog to go pee
and poop outside it gets in theground.
It can stay active for nineyears.
This is extremely wild.
(17:11):
And sure enough she had Parvoand the vet was like you know,
she needs this life-saving shot.
It's $1,100.
That's market cost.
And then she has to stay in thehospital for quarantine for
like two weeks and that's $6,000.
And we're like goddamn, youknow, we don't have this kind of
money.
This was not what we intended.
So my mother and the vet arecalling the rescue, calling the
(17:31):
administrators of the rescue,you know, because this dog has
hours to live and I stayed upwith my sister most of the night
, and so did my mother.
We had to take turns to washthe dog and we were prepared to
bring the dog to have hereuthanized, because we don't
have to let this animal suffer.
You know, be done.
We know what we need to do.
And finally someone from theorganization called and we had
(17:53):
to voluntarily relinquish it sothat they could be treated,
because the vet was inpartnership with the
organization and that was fineand we had an agreement as a
family.
We talked about it, that nobodywas supposed to want to adopt
this dog Like we.
We were going to voluntarilyrelinquish the dog and walk away
and know like we did everythingto save this dog, even if
(18:16):
that's all our experience was.
We saved this dog's life,however short, however many
short days she was with us.
That didn't happen.
My mom and my sister definitelywanted the dog back.
My mother at first was pleadingand then, please give us a dog
back.
And the dog came back and mysister was really overwhelmed,
um, with caring for the dog.
(18:37):
She still had to be in anotherquarantine for three weeks,
couldn't be outside um and wehad to monitor her.
And my sister is still in theprocess of acquiring her
bachelor's degree online.
Um, she wants to work full-timeand my mother made the
realization that she cannot see.
She cannot see physically tocare for this dog and really
(18:58):
went through a really darkdepression about it.
My dad, with his early onsetdementia, cannot close doors, he
can't hear, he just wants toplay.
He's very childlike, which isfine.
We all want to play withpuppies and kitties and animals.
They're cute, of course.
But he could not help us and itwas supposed to be a family
effort.
It was supposed to be my mom,my dad and my sister.
(19:20):
I'm not part of it because youknow like I'm very transient in
this family and I just didn'twant to bear responsibility for
it.
You know, and disappoint peoplewith and when.
I couldn't follow through andthat's honesty, and my sister
made the decision to be like no,we need to return this dog, but
I don't want to give it back tothis organization because they
(19:42):
were very angry.
They felt like they were notwanting to claim responsibility
for letting my family adopt apossibly sick dog that could
have died in our home and thatwas dying in our home, and so
I'm going to try to shorten thisstory.
There was an issue with mymother and my sister where my
(20:02):
sister thought she had anagreement with my mother to let
her keep the dog for three weeksuntil she was fully cleared no
virus, no shedding, post-virusso that either they return her
back to the organizationaccording to their contract or
they vet and find her theappropriate home that could take
care of her, with the fence andkids and ample time.
(20:23):
Yeah, my mom called, while mysister was asleep, the rescue
that they got her from, and shewoke my sister up and said you
have to return the dog today.
And my sister broke down and itwas painful and it was sad and
it was heartbreaking because shefelt my mother betrayed her and
all I can do is just pray andjust send love and support my
(20:45):
sister and help her clean up andget everything ready.
My sister had to drive with mymother holding the dog.
She had to sign the paperwork.
She said that she was nottreated well.
I wouldn't say they mistreatedher, but they made her feel like
she was a bad pet owner and notresponsible and you know it
(21:06):
just wasn't meant to be.
So the house has been kind offunny the last two months
because my sister wasobsessively looking on
petfindercom every day to makesure like the dog was adopted.
Because she's like I willforgive my mother, I will feel
like I can talk to my motheronce I know this dog is in safe
hands with a good family.
(21:26):
And it took about a month butthe dog was adopted.
She was no longer online and mysister.
It took her about that month toreally let it all go and I was
really really fucking proud ofher because I know she did it
from like the absolute,unconditional love of her heart.
I remember her in tearsbreaking down the crate and
(21:47):
throwing away the pillows andeverything, cause you can't wash
that stuff, you can't give it,the bacteria is everywhere and
just throwing everything awayand me holding the bags and her
saying I don't want to give upthis dog.
I wish I could have this dog,I'm just not in a place in my
life to do it.
And this dog deserves more andthe best life possible.
And I'm giving up this dogbecause I love this dog so much,
(22:09):
even though it's been less thantwo weeks.
I love this dog so much and Iwant to see this animal live a
happy life.
And, man, it brought tears tomy eyes because I don't know.
I mean, I wouldn't have justadopted the dog in the first
place.
But that's just me.
But to be in that position, thesacrifice that she made, like I
(22:31):
know, my sister is going tocome and eventually have
wonderful dogs of her own whenshe's in her own home that are
going to give her so much joyand companionship.
My sister loves animals so muchlike, deeply, deeply, loves and
connects to animals so much, somuch so that my sister, either
this or next week is going tothe Humane Society in our
(22:54):
community to donate bags of dogfood and little toys and
powdered milk for newborn catsand puppies, because she just
wants to continue to contribute,and God bless her.
I mean, she also goes becauseshe likes to pet the kittens and
(23:16):
the dogs so that she can gether animal fixes.
So she goes and donates andthen she goes and pets all the
animals, which I think is verysweet.
Um, shit, I do the same thingtoo.
If I had time and the extramoney right now, I would Um, but
I like to accompany my sisterwhen I can to these little
excursions because just herheart opens up so much and it
(23:51):
just brings me and the realitiesof things.
Just letting go and trusting isabsolutely powerful and I think
that was her lesson during thistime.
And my sister has a lot morelessons right now with school
and things like that and it'sbeen the lesson for me.
Right now I'm just trying tohave patience with my dad.
(24:13):
His health is okay, his bloodwork is fine and stuff, but I
really want my dad to be ashealthy nutritionally as
possible.
I've taken an amazing herbalismclass this past weekend,
actually as continuing educationfor my massage therapy license
that's required here in thestate of Florida, but it opened
up my eyes to the power thatplants have, more than just what
(24:36):
I learned growing up with mygrandmother's herbalism and her
home remedies and things likethat, but just the fact that,
like what foods and theirenergetics can do for us on a
spiritual and physical level andemotional and mental level, how
certain plans can help us, youknow, with our mental and
(24:57):
emotional needs, I was justreally astounded and I learned
so many more new things aboutfood than what I originally knew
, and I'm just excited to keepdiving into herbalism, maybe
take some more courses, um, butthat's where I'm at.
You know we're in April.
I am working, I'm out of theoffice April 23rd getting ready
(25:18):
to pack my stuff to go to Mexico, um, so, needless to say, like
the journey has been hard.
This winter was extremely hard,um, but I'm grateful to be in
it.
I was grateful to be in thejourney, to be present, and I'm
learning more and more every dayto be present, um, and to not
(25:41):
fall into the trap of escapism,and I know our country and our
world is a fucking shit show.
You don't have to tell me I'mnot big on political stuff on
social media because as ashamanic practitioner I don't
really sign up for that.
It's not like I don't believein politics or like equal rights
or anything like that.
I absolutely fucking do.
But I don't pick sides, andwe're not supposed to, because
(26:06):
we see the world from just humanbehavior.
And it's hard it's hard as alayman person hearing this, to
maybe understand and accept that.
But from a spiritual standpointI trust that everything has its
reason.
I cannot control humanity.
I cannot control the behaviors,the thought processes, the
actions.
All I can do is keep sharing mylight, keep helping people heal
(26:33):
their internal wounds, keephelping people become strong and
have faith and trust that theythemselves will be protected,
that their loved ones will beprotected, that there is a
reason for all this fuckingmadness and that we don't allow
the energies the negativeenergies that come from
consuming this affect us andoverpower us.
(26:55):
And so I stand in truth and infaith and in light to help keep
spreading joy, love, hope,encouragement, inspiration, my
truth to help others that aregoing through a difficult time.
I know the country is a fuckingshit show right now.
Believe me, part of me is likeI'm ready to get the fuck out of
(27:16):
here and take my family with me, but I know that's not a
reality in this present momentas of today.
That might be a realitytomorrow and I'll be ready for
that time, but for right now, Iknow that there is a reason for
all of this.
This is part of the humanevolution.
There has to be chaos,essentially, and complete
(27:38):
destruction of foundations to berebuilt, hopefully from a place
of love and spiritualconnection, and that doesn't
mean religion.
That means people understandingwho they are, people healing
their wounds, people coming froma place of love and standing in
the belief system of love, ofservice, of kindness, of helping
each other, and not from aplace of ego, and not from a
(28:00):
place of hate or fear orcorruption All of the shit that
we call demonic and dark notfrom those places.
So I am praying every singlegoddamn day.
I pray every day for all of us.
I do, and that's what gets meup out of bed and that's what

Welcome back to the Joyful Shaman Podcast.
I am Naomi, your host with themost, and I am glad to be back
recording another episode foryou all.
How are you friends?
How has 2025 been for you?
I know I've taken a little bitof a hiatus and I'll give you an
update as to where I'm at, butI'm glad to be back, making it
(00:26):
through winter, really embracingthe season of spring and what
is coming for all of us.
So I last left everybody withthe holiday season really trying
to integrate from my retreat inNew Mexico, getting ready to
move my physical business withmy business partner, cassie, and
(00:49):
just personal things at homewith family.
And I've got to say that winterwas an extremely hard time for
me mentally and emotionally as Iwas really dying to a lot of
old identities and still tryingto control and working from a
place of ego in the areas of myretreats.
(01:10):
I will say that spirit reallyhad to move in me and through me
and a lot of things haveshifted and changed, all for the
greatest and highest good andI'm grateful for it all.
So, holiday season, cassie andI moved into our beautiful
historic home office that weshare with Dr Angela Boatwright,
(01:32):
who is an amazing acupuncturephysician here in our Lakeland
community and the otherattorneys that have private
offices upstairs.
We love the house.
It is absolutely magical.
I have never worked in a placewhere I have felt so much energy
, protection, um, and spiritualconnection.
Truly, a lot of people ask meoh man, that house is 125 years
(01:56):
old, it must be haunted.
Honey, if I'm gonna walk inthere, ain't shit gonna be
haunted, okay, because I clearthat motherfucker every single
goddamn day.
But, that being said, we areextremely grateful.
I know that I was panickingfrom a financial standpoint and
really it was a deeper woundingthat I'm still working with.
(02:17):
When it comes to scarcity andtrust, my root chakra is pretty
damaged, I would say, sincechildhood and every day.
It's a conscious choice toreally work and have trust and
faith that all of my physicalneeds will be met, especially
for my business.
So Cassie and I moved into thatspace and we really made it our
(02:40):
own and it has been wonderful.
Now, january is typically aslower month for most small
businesses.
I can only attest to ourcommunity because it's
post-holiday, you know.
People are getting ready to dotaxes, the holiday bills come
through, kids are going back, alot of people get sick, a lot of
(03:01):
sickness.
I call it January ickies,because everybody and their mama
got something going on.
So it was a slower time and Iwas grateful for it because I
needed a lot of physical rest.
I also needed a lot ofemotional rest, as my mind was
just still going around amillion miles an hour.
You know I had some clients andyou know I did what I needed to
(03:24):
do to take care of my personalexpenses and stuff.
But it was a time of alsolaunching my retreat.
As I was launching the originalretreats to New Mexico, to
Olympia, washington and toSedona, arizona I started to
come to realizations that thesewere not in alignment with me,
(03:48):
whether it was the retreat, host, the location, the timing, the
offering.
I was really focusing onfinancial return because I
really wanted to use the moneyto buy a car and to move and to
do things like that for thisyear and obviously that was not
what spirit had in mind and itwas really not in alignment with
(04:10):
my soul.
So I had to learn some really,really hard lessons and I
canceled my Santa Fe, new Mexicoretreat.
I canceled Sedona.
We originally actuallypostponed it to September, but
we actually canceled it,postponed it to September but we
actually canceled it.
And we canceled OlympiaWashington because we did not
have aligned people and at thetime I was upset over the course
(04:34):
of January and February inregards to this, but I really
wasn't, because I knew that itwasn't right and that was a hard
lesson I had to learn in winter.
It was a big fat ego death thatI had to do because I want to
help people, but I also strugglewith, I guess, still putting
out my worth and my value andthen realizing that I need to
(04:56):
focus on my local community andto have trust and faith that the
people that I am meant to leadin these special retreat
containers will mainly come frommy local community or from
other people that I connect withonline, that I don't have to
make extreme efforts, as I wasmaking, to really put myself out
there, because it wasattracting an energy of
(05:19):
desperation, of fear, of notstanding in my power.
And that was a hard lesson overthe winter, february because of
my fears and just me panickinginternally about control.
And you know, am I going to beable to afford the rent in the
house?
Is my business still going tokeep going?
What about my retreats.
(05:39):
All of that was at theforefront of my mind.
February the energy was rough.
I know everybody struggledthrough the month of March and
maybe coming out of thatretrograde eclipse portal right
now at this time.
But February was that time forme.
I was closing out my SaturnSquare to Sun Transit that had
(06:01):
started in May of 2024.
And February was the pinnaclemoment.
My business has been steadilydeclining revenue, wise, I want
to say, since the beginning of2024, and February was rock
bottom.
I was making far less than whatI was able to pay my bills.
(06:23):
And I reached the point inFebruary where I was like, okay,
spirit, if this is it, if Ihang it up, if I have to walk
away from this house we justmoved into four weeks ago, if I
have to go get a part-time jobworking in the world and I
haven't worked for anybody in 10years then I will do so.
I will walk away from this.
And I was scared, I was tryingto trust, but I finally finally
(06:49):
hit that place of just absolutesurrender.
Not that I was giving up,because I did, I really wanted
to give up.
I was like I don't know ifsurrender is giving up at this
point or just knowing when it'stime to walk away.
But I just kept praying everyday of like I'm just going to
surrender, I'm going to behumble, I am going to understand
that there are different waysof being able to help people and
(07:12):
to heal people.
And if it's not owning my ownbusiness, you know, doing the
services that I do in my localcommunity, if I have to get a
full-time job and just do thispart-time, then I'm willing to
do it Like I was ready to takethat step.
Um, come March and I'm glad thatI still have that mentality
(07:33):
because it's very real, it'sstill very real and, um, I will
say that March, since March 1st,the feels like a faucet just
opened up and the water startedpouring in.
I was able to recuperate three,almost four times what I made
in February.
And if that is not a testamentto divine intervention again,
(07:57):
the many examples in my life ofnothing short of a miracle, at
least personally for me, I don'tknow what it is.
So it's just a confirmationthat the Spirit and God is so
real.
The positive that has come fromall of this experience is that
I am in this incredible place ofjust deep, deep peace.
(08:18):
I don't think I've ever feltthis peaceful in my life.
I was on the edge of the abyss,of the darkness I really was
and peering down in thatdarkness in February had me in a
variety of different feelingsand emotions and I just looked
up.
I just kept looking up andreaching towards the light and
(08:40):
just being like help me, help mefind peace and surrender and
just ultimate trust and Ifinally I jumped off the cliff,
so to speak.
I jumped off the cliff and wascaught and elevated up and I
realized I had to do the jumpbecause it was a powerful
initiation and I don't want tosay the word test, but it was a
(09:02):
powerful moment in my life whereI needed to have that deeper
evolution for myself.
I do have two wonderfulopportunities that have come up
for me during this time.
I'm actually getting ready toleave on April 25th to lead a
beautiful retreat in Yelapa,mexico, which is right outside
(09:24):
of Puerto Vallarta, for myfriend, jenny Carmel, who is
based out of California, who'sbeen leading retreats for 30
years.
She is an amazing travelretreat chef and caterer and
devout spiritual seeker andasked me to go and lead her
week-long retreat in Mexico andI am fucking excited and I am
(09:51):
fucking excited.
This is my first opportunity ofsomething of this magnitude to
do and I get to work with otherhealers.
So this isn't my retreat.
I was just asked to go and dothis and 100% fucking signed up
and I was like, yep, do I needto be at the airport and I'm
going to order 10,000 moomoosbecause it's hot as hell on the
beach, but it's going to begreat.
And then I am leading my veryown retreat at the end of July
(10:18):
in Mount Shasta, california,which came to me in a dream 10
months ago and it wasn'tsomething that I podcasted about
because it was a dream and Ijust kind of kept it on the back
burner, but around the holidayseason it just really kept
popping up.
So Mount Shasta, california isfully activated and we are
filling that retreat.
(10:38):
I thank God every single daythat that retreat is 100%
channeled.
It's from the heart.
The information is on mywebsite, joyfulshamancom.
From the heart.
The information is on mywebsite joyfulshamancom.
If you listen to this and areinterested.
Some spots are still availableas this podcast is being
recorded and I am just grateful.
(10:59):
March for my business exploded.
My clients came in, new peoplecame in.
So much more energy healingwork, so many more opportunities
for sound bath, meditation andfor other services for the
community.
Like I am so grateful I'mactually going to be traveling
quite a bit.
Cassie hopefully won't hearthis podcast, but I'm going to
(11:21):
surprise her when I come backfrom Mexico and take her to
Seattle celebrate her 45thbirthday at the end of May, and
then I'm going home for thefirst time in almost eight years
, to New Orleans for my birthdayin June to see my beautiful
friends, the friends that I metin Tulum, mexico.
They're going to join me therein New Orleans because why not,
baby, it's New Orleans and thenJuly going to California, and
(11:46):
I'm actually in the process ofpossibly planning another
retreat for the fall.
Either it's going to be inAustin, texas, or it's going to
California, and I'm actually inthe process of possibly planning
another retreat for the fall.
Either it's going to be inAustin, texas, or it's going to
be in Western North Carolinaabout Lake Lear, where they
filmed Dirty Dancing, one of myfavorite movies, which is about
an hour away from Asheville.
So I'm in a great state ofblessings, but I will say winter
(12:08):
was hard.
I had to die like literallyover and over and over and I
think I'm in a great state ofblessings.
But I will say winter was hard.
I had to die like literallyover and over and over, and I
think I'm still going to be inthat dying process.
We all will be.
I know that March has been hard,with the Mercury and Venus
retrogrades, neptune and Pisces,the eclipses, and so I was
ready and I feel, because I'vebeen doing the work internally
(12:31):
and I've been just going throughextreme challenges and just
finally jumping off that edgeand whatever was going to come I
was going to accept.
I feel like I've made itthrough the next cycle and right
now I'm just in a state ofgrace, I'm in a state of
blessing, I'm in a state ofpeace and I feel like I'm in a
great state of flow and I'venever felt like this in my
(12:53):
entire life and I'm justgrateful.
I know that more challenges andmore cycles will come.
I feel like there's still somelittle woundings and things like
that that get triggered, but Ihave greater awareness and
greater patience about it as faras with my family and greater
patience about it as far as withmy family.
(13:13):
Unfortunately, the dog situationthat I had talked about in the
last episode did not work outwith my family.
That was pretty traumatizingand I felt bad for my mother and
my sister.
They really, really wanted adog and I just knew intuitively
this was not going to work outand I just had to be there and
watch it all happen and just bethere as a support system for my
sister.
Um, but I will say that, um,the dog situation didn't work
(13:37):
out.
They brought the dog home and Iwill say, um, that the
organization that they adoptedthe dog from did not do its due
diligence as well.
I will say that when they wentto just initially go and visit
the dog on December 21st, theywere not intending to bring this
(13:57):
dog home.
They were ready, but that wasnot their intention and when
they got there, they had learnedthat this dog had not already
been spayed.
She was just literally spayedtwo days prior.
So she was in a cone withstitches and we were like oh wow
.
And they went and put her on theground and they said that she
had been exposed to Parvo.
(14:17):
She was 11 months old, so notlike a puppy, puppy, but still
not quite a year old and thatyou know there's supposed to be
a 10-day quarantine for dogsthat are exposed to Parvo why?
Because it's a parasite that ifit gets in and the dog gets
activated from it, you have 48hours to receive for the dog, to
receive a life-saving shot orelse the dog will die.
(14:39):
And that's something we'venever experienced with our other
dogs that we've had growing up,you know, and they didn't quite
inform us of all of that andthe severity of it.
You know, it's right beforeChristmas and the woman that had
the dog that brought her was afoster and she only had the dog
overnight and she said well, youknow, I've had this dog, you
know, essentially for two daysand they haven't really shown
(15:02):
any signs of having active parvo.
So I think they should be fine.
But just, you know, don't lether pee and poop outside and
just keep like a kiddie pool inthe house.
And, um, you know, if she getsparvo, that's fine, just call,
call the organization, call therescue, and uh, we'll, we'll
treat her.
You know, christmas rolls around, um, and she started getting
(15:24):
sick.
She started getting sick to herstomach, she started having
these allergies.
We thought she was having pusfrom her incision, from the spay
surgery, and so we ended upbringing her to the vet like two
times in like 24 hours.
And then this dog got violentlysick Christmas night into the
(15:44):
day after Christmas and the dogit was like almost the 10th day
of you know the technicalquarantine and yeah, she was
active for Parvo and she startedvomiting and defecating in the
house and just chunks of stomachlining and blood everywhere and
(16:06):
I'm sorry to be so graphicabout it but it was horrifying
because I've never witnessed ananimal do that in real life in
my face.
And parvo, what it is, it's aparasite that essentially it's
almost like an acid, so to speakthe easiest way to explain it.
It eats away the lining of yourstomach and your intestines and
(16:26):
that's horrifying and that'swhat kills the animal and
puppies, like really young babypuppies if they get it it's very
hard for them to survive.
But because this dog wasalready pre-owned in 11 months,
she was a trooper and my mom andmy sister had to bring the dog
to the emergency vet hospital.
They had to wait in the carbecause they can't expose other
(16:48):
animals and the bacteria in theoffice.
I didn't know that once it'sout of their body through
vomiting or through poop, thatbacteria stays active for a year
, no matter how many freakingtimes you mop it when they go
poop outside, no wonder theydidn't want the dog to go pee
and poop outside it gets in theground.
It can stay active for nineyears.
This is extremely wild.
(17:11):
And sure enough she had Parvoand the vet was like you know,
she needs this life-saving shot.
It's $1,100.
That's market cost.
And then she has to stay in thehospital for quarantine for
like two weeks and that's $6,000.
And we're like goddamn, youknow, we don't have this kind of
money.
This was not what we intended.
So my mother and the vet arecalling the rescue, calling the
(17:31):
administrators of the rescue,you know, because this dog has
hours to live and I stayed upwith my sister most of the night
, and so did my mother.
We had to take turns to washthe dog and we were prepared to
bring the dog to have hereuthanized, because we don't
have to let this animal suffer.
You know, be done.
We know what we need to do.
And finally someone from theorganization called and we had
(17:53):
to voluntarily relinquish it sothat they could be treated,
because the vet was inpartnership with the
organization and that was fineand we had an agreement as a
family.
We talked about it, that nobodywas supposed to want to adopt
this dog Like we.
We were going to voluntarilyrelinquish the dog and walk away
and know like we did everythingto save this dog, even if
(18:16):
that's all our experience was.
We saved this dog's life,however short, however many
short days she was with us.
That didn't happen.
My mom and my sister definitelywanted the dog back.
My mother at first was pleadingand then, please give us a dog
back.
And the dog came back and mysister was really overwhelmed,
um, with caring for the dog.
(18:37):
She still had to be in anotherquarantine for three weeks,
couldn't be outside um and wehad to monitor her.
And my sister is still in theprocess of acquiring her
bachelor's degree online.
Um, she wants to work full-timeand my mother made the
realization that she cannot see.
She cannot see physically tocare for this dog and really
(18:58):
went through a really darkdepression about it.
My dad, with his early onsetdementia, cannot close doors, he
can't hear, he just wants toplay.
He's very childlike, which isfine.
We all want to play withpuppies and kitties and animals.
They're cute, of course.
But he could not help us and itwas supposed to be a family
effort.
It was supposed to be my mom,my dad and my sister.
(19:20):
I'm not part of it because youknow like I'm very transient in
this family and I just didn'twant to bear responsibility for
it.
You know, and disappoint peoplewith and when.
I couldn't follow through andthat's honesty, and my sister
made the decision to be like no,we need to return this dog, but
I don't want to give it back tothis organization because they
(19:42):
were very angry.
They felt like they were notwanting to claim responsibility
for letting my family adopt apossibly sick dog that could
have died in our home and thatwas dying in our home, and so
I'm going to try to shorten thisstory.
There was an issue with mymother and my sister where my
(20:02):
sister thought she had anagreement with my mother to let
her keep the dog for three weeksuntil she was fully cleared no
virus, no shedding, post-virusso that either they return her
back to the organizationaccording to their contract or
they vet and find her theappropriate home that could take
care of her, with the fence andkids and ample time.
(20:23):
Yeah, my mom called, while mysister was asleep, the rescue
that they got her from, and shewoke my sister up and said you
have to return the dog today.
And my sister broke down and itwas painful and it was sad and
it was heartbreaking because shefelt my mother betrayed her and
all I can do is just pray andjust send love and support my
(20:45):
sister and help her clean up andget everything ready.
My sister had to drive with mymother holding the dog.
She had to sign the paperwork.
She said that she was nottreated well.
I wouldn't say they mistreatedher, but they made her feel like
she was a bad pet owner and notresponsible and you know it
(21:06):
just wasn't meant to be.
So the house has been kind offunny the last two months
because my sister wasobsessively looking on
petfindercom every day to makesure like the dog was adopted.
Because she's like I willforgive my mother, I will feel
like I can talk to my motheronce I know this dog is in safe
hands with a good family.
(21:26):
And it took about a month butthe dog was adopted.
She was no longer online and mysister.
It took her about that month toreally let it all go and I was
really really fucking proud ofher because I know she did it
from like the absolute,unconditional love of her heart.
I remember her in tearsbreaking down the crate and
(21:47):
throwing away the pillows andeverything, cause you can't wash
that stuff, you can't give it,the bacteria is everywhere and
just throwing everything awayand me holding the bags and her
saying I don't want to give upthis dog.
I wish I could have this dog,I'm just not in a place in my
life to do it.
And this dog deserves more andthe best life possible.
And I'm giving up this dogbecause I love this dog so much,
(22:09):
even though it's been less thantwo weeks.
I love this dog so much and Iwant to see this animal live a
happy life.
And, man, it brought tears tomy eyes because I don't know.
I mean, I wouldn't have justadopted the dog in the first
place.
But that's just me.
But to be in that position, thesacrifice that she made, like I
(22:31):
know, my sister is going tocome and eventually have
wonderful dogs of her own whenshe's in her own home that are
going to give her so much joyand companionship.
My sister loves animals so muchlike, deeply, deeply, loves and
connects to animals so much, somuch so that my sister, either
this or next week is going tothe Humane Society in our
(22:54):
community to donate bags of dogfood and little toys and
powdered milk for newborn catsand puppies, because she just
wants to continue to contribute,and God bless her.
I mean, she also goes becauseshe likes to pet the kittens and
(23:16):
the dogs so that she can gether animal fixes.
So she goes and donates andthen she goes and pets all the
animals, which I think is verysweet.
Um, shit, I do the same thingtoo.
If I had time and the extramoney right now, I would Um, but
I like to accompany my sisterwhen I can to these little
excursions because just herheart opens up so much and it
(23:51):
just brings me and the realitiesof things.
Just letting go and trusting isabsolutely powerful and I think
that was her lesson during thistime.
And my sister has a lot morelessons right now with school
and things like that and it'sbeen the lesson for me.
Right now I'm just trying tohave patience with my dad.
(24:13):
His health is okay, his bloodwork is fine and stuff, but I
really want my dad to be ashealthy nutritionally as
possible.
I've taken an amazing herbalismclass this past weekend,
actually as continuing educationfor my massage therapy license
that's required here in thestate of Florida, but it opened
up my eyes to the power thatplants have, more than just what
(24:36):
I learned growing up with mygrandmother's herbalism and her
home remedies and things likethat, but just the fact that,
like what foods and theirenergetics can do for us on a
spiritual and physical level andemotional and mental level, how
certain plans can help us, youknow, with our mental and
(24:57):
emotional needs, I was justreally astounded and I learned
so many more new things aboutfood than what I originally knew
, and I'm just excited to keepdiving into herbalism, maybe
take some more courses, um, butthat's where I'm at.
You know we're in April.
I am working, I'm out of theoffice April 23rd getting ready
(25:18):
to pack my stuff to go to Mexico, um, so, needless to say, like
the journey has been hard.
This winter was extremely hard,um, but I'm grateful to be in
it.
I was grateful to be in thejourney, to be present, and I'm
learning more and more every dayto be present, um, and to not
(25:41):
fall into the trap of escapism,and I know our country and our
world is a fucking shit show.
You don't have to tell me I'mnot big on political stuff on
social media because as ashamanic practitioner I don't
really sign up for that.
It's not like I don't believein politics or like equal rights
or anything like that.
I absolutely fucking do.
But I don't pick sides, andwe're not supposed to, because
(26:06):
we see the world from just humanbehavior.
And it's hard it's hard as alayman person hearing this, to
maybe understand and accept that.
But from a spiritual standpointI trust that everything has its
reason.
I cannot control humanity.
I cannot control the behaviors,the thought processes, the
actions.
All I can do is keep sharing mylight, keep helping people heal
(26:33):
their internal wounds, keephelping people become strong and
have faith and trust that theythemselves will be protected,
that their loved ones will beprotected, that there is a
reason for all this fuckingmadness and that we don't allow
the energies the negativeenergies that come from
consuming this affect us andoverpower us.
(26:55):
And so I stand in truth and infaith and in light to help keep
spreading joy, love, hope,encouragement, inspiration, my
truth to help others that aregoing through a difficult time.
I know the country is a fuckingshit show right now.
Believe me, part of me is likeI'm ready to get the fuck out of
(27:16):
here and take my family with me, but I know that's not a
reality in this present momentas of today.
That might be a realitytomorrow and I'll be ready for
that time, but for right now, Iknow that there is a reason for
all of this.
This is part of the humanevolution.
There has to be chaos,essentially, and complete
(27:38):
destruction of foundations to berebuilt, hopefully from a place
of love and spiritualconnection, and that doesn't
mean religion.
That means people understandingwho they are, people healing
their wounds, people coming froma place of love and standing in
the belief system of love, ofservice, of kindness, of helping
each other, and not from aplace of ego, and not from a
(28:00):
place of hate or fear orcorruption All of the shit that
we call demonic and dark notfrom those places.
So I am praying every singlegoddamn day.
I pray every day for all of us.
I do, and that's what gets meup out of bed and that's what
gets me dressed and that's whatgets me to the office to help
(28:22):
people and to keep doing thisand to keep spreading love, as
always.
I don't know when my nextpodcast will be.
I'm going to try my best to doa podcast as soon as I come back
from Mexico to relay mydownloads, to relay my
experiences before I keeptraveling in the early summer.

you, not for me, but because Ihope this helps somebody.
I hope this medicine and thesupport and the breathwork
journeys and just the messagesof hope help you.
You are not fucking alone.
You are an amazing human,believe me.
And like, oh, a stupid thingthat I've been doing is watching
(29:08):
fucking high school musicalwith my sister, but that song,
we're all in this together.
Yeah, okay, that's like livesrent free right now in my head,
but no, for real, like we allare, and if we can tap into that
love, even though a lot ofother people don't, right now we
don't have to be alone andreach out for help.
(29:28):
I am here to help anybody.
You send me a message, you sendme an email.
Anyway, I will take time and Iwill talk with you and I will
support you and I will hold youand I will do whatever you need
to find a place of balance, ofpeace, of wholeness and clarity
for yourself, friend, becausethat's what it's about and
that's what we do to keep movingforward.

forward.
So that's the update.
